CAPNG_SAVE_STATE(3)              Libcap-ng API             CAPNG_SAVE_STATE(3)

NAME
       capng_restore_state - set the internal library state

SYNOPSIS
       #include <cap-ng.h>

       void capng_restore_state(void **state);


DESCRIPTION
       capng_restore_state is a function that takes the state information
       previously saved by capng_save_state and restores the libraries
       internal state. This function is not available in the python bindings.


RETURN VALUE
       None.


NOTES
       capng_restore_state free's the previously malloc'd state, thus the
       state can't be restored multiple times.

       The working pid is part of the restored state, if restoring the state
       to a different thread, capng_setpid can be used to update it.
